From b62d5edd0a5794a6ba142ed66dbba366546dc307 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Alcock Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2021 20:31:21 +0100 Subject: libctf: fix handling of CTF symtypetab sections emitted by older GCC Older (pre-upstreaming) GCC emits a function symtypetab section of a format never read by any extant libctf. We can detect such CTF dicts by the lack of the CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO flag in their header, and we do so when reading in the symtypetab section -- but if the set of symbols with types is sufficiently sparse, even an older GCC will emit a function index section. In NEWFUNCINFO-capable compilers, this section will always be the exact same length as the corresponding function section (each is an array of uint32_t, associated 1:1 with each other). But this is not true for the older compiler, for which the sections are different lengths. We check to see if the function symtypetab section and its index are the same length, but we fail to skip this check when this is not a NEWFUNCINFO dict, and emit a spurious corruption error for a CTF dict we could have perfectly well opened and used. Fix trivial: check the flag (and fix the terrible grammar of the error message at the same time). libctf/ChangeLog 2021-09-27 Nick Alcock * ctf-open.c (ctf_bufopen_internal): Don't complain about corrupt function index symtypetab sections if this is an old-format function symtypetab section (which should be ignored in any case).
